Social Login & Register ‘’We don’t have a lot of time’’
Social login is a form of single sign-on function using existing information from a social networking service, such as Facebook or Google, to sign into a third party website instead of creating a new account specifically for that website.
Also known as social sign-in, the process increases registration and minimizes barriers to site entry by reducing the need for usernames and passwords by allowing users to authenticate using their existing social media identities and pre-verified user accounts.
Not only can it enhance the user’s experience on your site in not needing to fill out a registration form or remember yet more passwords, it also allows marketers to gather more accurate data, including verified email addresses, age, gender, relationship status, and interests.
A report from Gigya revealed that the leading reason people use social authentication is to avoid having to fill out online registration forms. Other reasons include not wanting to remember another username and password, and using the same identity on multiple websites. 86% of users report being bothered by having to create new accounts on websites.
According to the aggregated research published by WebHostingBuzz, 77% of users believe social login is a good registration solution and should be offered by all websites.
92% of users will leave a site instead of resetting or recovering login info. According to a poll by Blue Research, one third of people say they leave frequently when forgetting their login information.
